they possessed might vary well be rraneged for porpesee of loc a l im provement by placing it under the control mei ...iireetion nettle rity selected for that purpose by the popular voice, in conformity with the erineiple of the Rill. That is, in other words, let the principleof the 1111. franchise be adhered to with respect to the persons who shall choose these authorities. In case that the majority of the constituent boil, s hould choose to apply to the Lord Lieutenant f or a c h arter, on t h e principle - of the Bill, let the Lord Lieutenant be empowered to com Ply with the request. 1 cannot, however, take the constituent body just as I find them in the Bill. I would require occupancy for one year To this I would add six months' residence, and a previous paying up of all the taxes. With these conditions, and if the householder were rated at Id!. to the Poorwate, I would consent to give the Crown a power to grant a charter on the application cf the majority of the Rate payers. I can readily conceive that in towns where corporate property exists there might be a etish to continue the corpora tion ; but where there is no sneli property I can easily cane , ice a (Hs inc'inaTien on the part of the inhabitants to burthen themselves with the expense of corporate etficeis. Wey, then, net leave to the rate-payers a free choice upon this point ? 'there may be corporate towns which would not desire to have a municipal body, and yet would wish to este . Midi some mode of managing the funds. How do you propose to act in such cases ? If they would rather not have corporations, and yet de sire to have the corporate property well !ravaged for the benefit of the town, let the 10!. householder; elect a committee, and entrust to it the - application of the corporate funds to public purposes. I am not aware tell have omitted any point on which it is necevary for me further explain__ tot 1 JOIN RUSF.ELL.- With resrset to the appointment of Mayor. Sir R. do not choose to encumber my st dement with too many end trio minute details. Ido not ask the Noble Lord to agree to night in the view which I take of the sobject, and I reserve to myself the right of expressing my opinion as to any parts upon which I have not touched at any future pencil attic proceeding. I sha'l not now de tain the House Imager. I have stated my views upon the subject—l I t eve done aci la a very imperfeet manlier, hut I hope in a temper mit a spirit not unbefitting the ticeesiun.—(Cheers from both sides.) I am en st cles - rous of seeing this Inng.controverted question brought at Let to a satisfactory result.—(Renewed cheers.) May be that the emit We which I have thought fit to pursue will expose me to blame from both parties. Some wall perhaps imagine that I have con ceded too much, whilst ethers win be of opinion that I Mare granted nothine. lle this as it may, I have the satisfaction to feel that I make the concession from no interested or unworthy motive. If I persisted in the proposition which I made on a former occasion, I perceive that, in the present temper of the public mind there scold not be the most remote chance of bringing this long-mooted question to anything like a rwisraetory conclusion. I feel that it is highly desirable it should at length be brought to some such conclusion, taking due precaution, however, to procure every reisonalite security against the new rover which is about to be created, and to see that that power be net applied to ally other purposes than those for which it is canferred.—(Cheers.) It is true that we could efti,ctively resist any step taken to carry out he principle of the aperopriatiom feaus e and gentlemen opposite could as e titetuatly resist us in any moditiaation of the Municipal Bel, but what wetlid such a state of things not involve ? What would be the coin sequence? Why night after night Hon. erentlernen would come down to the House with swraps of speeches in ilithr pockets, for the purpose of a. - pcating expressions and opiniens, whilth each had used on former occasions, or perhaps both parties might recede upon points which each should continue to (wimpy with but little adearitage to the pub:;c service. It is better on the whole for the peace of Ireland that eon( ess'nn should be made on bath sides, for the purpose of bringing this quefien to a sertlement,—(Hear, bear, hear.) I dare say that the course whirls I have adopted will dissatisfe many, but I console my,elf with the consciousness that what I have done is in consonance with every principle of the Established Church in Ireland-with the principle which governed the Act of Union with that country, and with the split which governed the Act for Removing Civil Disabilities in Ireland.— (Cheeret On the other hand, the propositien which I make is not op posed in principle to the plan of her Majesty's Ministers. It may be asked or one aby Ido not leave tho question as it is ? I answer to that--I ray that we have neutralized the power of the Corp orations, and they etienct be continued as they were. It would be impossible to con. thole them as useful institutions tarot effective for any good. I feel it Incumbent on me, being herein Opposition, to state fairly the terms ofthe set tientroit into which lam sat:stied to come. I know, as I have already said, that there will be dissatiafestion on both sides. The terms will be eensidered exdrbitant on one !twirl and niggardly on the other; but I feel confident in the hope that there i< in the kingdom a large mass of moderate men, of sound judgment, who trill coolly wa-igh all the tercurnstances, and arbitrate fairly between the two extreme par ties. Ihe great body is most desirous of having the questions ot issue dually adjusted. It is a body which represents the moderation, the reason, and the good sense of the three kingdorns.—( Hear, hear.) They are, I repeat, most desirous for a final adjustment of these questions, sand I am sure that they will feel satisfied with, and approve of any at . temp! which will be calculated to settle these'questions upon satisfactory principles. The class to which I have alluded are desirous to see the two countries *identified in their institutions as far as local circuins'artees • will permit, and I concur with them in their desire. I wish, as far as painter, to see an equality of civil privileges, as I recognise an eeie- Jity religious liberty ; but I am, at the same time, anxious to settle the principle which rscognises the integrity of the Established Churr't in England and Ireland. I wilt resist, to the utmost of my • poo ally attempt to alienate the nroeerty of the Church to secular purpose:.-- - (Lord cheers.) If there is to be a re-adjustment ofChurch property it mitst be merely for a better trieptation of it to spiritual pur poses, and for teercasirg the efficiency of the Establishment. But, above all, I wi'l require a religious olawcrvance of those stipulations with re : petit to the Church by the Act of Vnion, and by that pegged the re moval of Roman Catholic disabiliti:s. ry the first of these Ake it iF declared that the Establishment of the rretestant faith is on essential article cf the Union, I think that the Church cf Ireland is inse parably connected both in faith and fortune with the Church of Englend. By the other Act for Catholic Emancipation a solemn engagement was implied that the removal of restraints to teed rituality and the exercise of civil privileges by the Roman Catholics Were perfectly consistent with the maintenance of tile Protestant Estab lishmetit, with the integrity of it: professions, and the security of its legal rights and privileges.-- ( The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded amidst loud cheers.) ,1 oral JOHN RUSSELL said that befere. he made any observations eon the deteils which the flight Honourable Gentleman had put before tee lacuse, he trust congratulate the House upon the spirit and manner to which tie Right Honourable Centlearian had fulfilled that pledge watch the other rOght he had given to the House, that nothing vvottid fail from him on the present occasion which should be likely to obstruct thepreposet for an adjustment of those questione—tHeae, hear.) No thing had fallen from the Right Honourable Gentleman ea:eulateri to have that effect, and thougli he might differ from the Right Hots. Gen tleman in matters of opinion, yet they were not marked with such dif_ ferencea as to principles as could forbid them to hope that there might be an adjustment determined upon that could be earrierl into effect in the present Session. — ;Hear, hear.) He Mt—as the Eight Honourable Gentleman felt—perhaps he had more right to feel—that he was more subject to reproach than the Right Honourable Gentleman, that they had receded from ground which they had formerly occupied. He had already stated to the House that he considered that the prolongation of these questions, and that their discossiori from year to year, without any prospect of a settlement, might be injurioue to the interests of the two countries.—(Hear, hear, hear.) The injury scats very great—it extended far beyond those who were concerned in these debates; for as far as they themselves were concerned, they might go away froin that place, after a spirited and animated discussion, contented each that he had supported that view of the question, which he beiieved to be most conducive to the interest of the empire.— (Hear, hear.) But the fel re of the settierremt of the questions affected, most deeply affected, the in terests of those in Ireland who might, as with regard to the tithe ques tion, teal themselves bound to offer on the one side resistance to the le gal enforcement of tithes, while they thought open the other side, that they were reduced to poverty, and that there had bean abandonment of their interests ar.d of their just rights. Thus great injury might conti. roue to he done by the question being left unsettled. And then, with regard to corporations, while the question respecting them was undeter mined, great odium and obloquy was incurred, and the. perpetuation of the evil was likely to lead to conflicts in which the happiness of society might be destroyed. Such were the consequences that might follow from keeping questions in suspense by the divisions of parties in that lxouse., For these reasons then, and mainly that seeing, as the Right Honourable Gentleman had said, that though those on the Ministerial benches might retain the appropriation principle, they ahould not he likely to obtain a law affirming that principle; and though the opposite party might contend for the abolition of corporations, yet it was not probable that that abolition could be carried into effect by the vote of that House. Leaving then the hopeless nature of the contest in which they were engaged, and being most anxious that the crib, which foliowed from it should cease, he came prepared to this discussion with thetiet ply-rooted conviction on his mind, that they ought to use all their e,owers to have an amicable adjustment of those questions. He had already stated that the continuance of these contentions were likely to he iniuritaus to the Constitution Agee . ; because, he could not think that, looking to the proceedings of the two branches of the Legislature, and seeing that they were unable liar so wary years to agree upon the principis 4 rue ruling a vital portion of the empire, was likely to be con sliteiveto the maintenance of the opinion that thelegislative powers could be botietieially exercised by them. There could be no doubt that, ra cet.dog team the gnome they had occupied, they might be reproached for . - - - a C.lrleeiAi.lll or an abandonment of print.iple. lie dA not think, he did not ;eel, ILA they woe justly liabiL to that reproach ; because he u.. iarisfied he slid not sacrifice the interests of his country for the .ake of party, or for the sake of those connected with him.—;Hear, hear. But feeling, on the contrary, that the interests of his cCuntry. requicra it, he att.2nipteci the zet.::eineilt of these questions. He felt that tlik,...e questions, which hither:o he had at:vocated, i,e22use he felt them to Le trur, and jest—and as to the adjustment of them, he was ready to content to it, because he thought that the interests or the coun. try r?.quirel that that consent Ahouhl be given, and that the attempt al adjustment z , hould be made._-'Cheep•.) With re petit to the first time rdemd to by the Right Hon, Gentleman, namely, the tithe which the Government had propoEed, end the attempt to rescind the reiniution of 1833, he should not then at ail touch urn) the reasons wjeh ;:ail been give❑ by the Right icon. Baronet for taking the course whien had then ben ro.irsucd. bis.h respect to die courta which the Governmeut had pursued, he did confess that it did apper to him that if he did not make the proposition which lie had made in former year,.;. it was that, though we mig,lit have carried it by a small rm. jori !r, yet there was no prJspcct of its settlement is the present sessioi , , nor, he might add, in a future session. If, then, thity did not make that proposition, they felt bound, looking to the affairs of the country, and of the Church of Ireland, to make such a propo sal as was likely to give security and satisfaction, they thought these r.:solutiDn.i were likely to produce conciliation ; and while they re moved, on the one hand, liabilities from those who are ob:iged to pay, yet :iwy gave, on the other security to the Church subject to a _ - deduction. In former debate; he observed tat great misunderstanding pievoilerl in some who had spoken with regard to the sixth proposition. After ,ome observations not distinctly heard in the gallery, the Noble Lorl continued by remarking that he did not think. atter the speech of -•-•• • - the I:;ght Honourable Gentleman the Member for tha Univ. rsity of Dublin, on a former night, and the speech which the flight Honourable Gent:man had made that night—he did not thin!; it would be wise to pr -nos,. a redemption of tithes. The flight Honourable Gentleman had ,aboured to show that there ougi,t not to be an investment on land. Now, the original proposition for such investment had come from the Right Hon. Gentleman the Member for the University of Ciaatvidge, in 1823. It had also been proposed by Lord Hatherton in the Bill of lgt3-1, and it had formed part of the Bill of Sir H. Hardinge in 1535. Theprin eiple,tlien, had been laid down ; but when it was stated by them, who had the opinions of those most deeply interested in the matter, an 4 who de. dared that they did not consider such a plan advisable, then it was his opinion that it would not be desirable to proceed with any plan for the redemption or investment Ile considered the toestion difficult and re,.tplicated, and believed that at present it would be beat not to attempt inedo!ing with it. It had been stated by the Right Hon. Gentleman t h at the present calm prevailing is Ireland upon the subject of tithes might be delusive, and that they could sot calculate upon thi;ags te naming as they were. lie entirely agreed in tie,?propusition with the fatig!tt Hon. Gentleman, and he thought also that soffsc .-;f th em w h o had a- , itaterl upon the subject of tithes might have felt . longer to oppose the law, it2=l.l3c they wished to express their con& s.trice in those wh , , administered tl:e The Right lion. .GeneeTrian has touched upon the distribution Cf Ciu►rch property,;;;(l Ahe atntition of what he eal!ed " sit:cures in the Church."

' I , inveidment hi the lituds, O r i n laud whether the rent charges CailvCi „ " in the south of Ireland should ant be tra nsferred to the mall. 'Mal 1 respect to the amount o f th e d e d uc ti on , it was no t neceaaary f or hi m to miter into that subject; at present. Coming, then, to the Bill which was immediately before the House—the Municipal Corporations Bill— the Right lion. Gentlemen had first laid it down as to the franchise that it should be founded on, or rather tested by, the Poor-rate. He did not think that as a principle and objection could be made to such a proposal. If they took a certain proposed value as the proposed qualification of municipal burgesses, then they were also to take care that it was an ascer. Grand real value, and not ail assumed value fur the occasion. He h hoped certainly that a Poor-law for Ireland would be one of the mea hstlfe6 ',assist in the present session; if it were not, then lie was ;-pretty sure that it must be one of those measures which Parliament I would very soon give its assent to.—(Hear, hear.) Ile did not believe 1 that the amount of destitution which existed in Ireland could he permitted to continue, without some legislative measure assign. ing property for its relief—(Cries of " Hear, hear")—and he said for the relief of the destitute, because if there were to b merely hospitals for the sick, the blind, and the lame, it wonlil not be a Poor-law, but a Bill fir (he establishing of hospitals in Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) Whether it might be the ease that a Poor-law would be passed this Session lie did nut know; but this he felt, that a law providing fur destitution in Ireland was one which Parliament, locking to the ieterest and internal tranquillity of Ireland, must soon pass. With respect to the amount of tire value of the franchise which the Right Hon. Gentleman had pro. posed to establish in corporations, he wished not to make any definite declaration at that moment. He confessed he was not prepared than to express. an opinion upon it. They were now sp. eking of a question in which there was no difference as to principle; for they a cre hot then discussing whether corporations should exist or not exist at all, but, supposing corporations to exist, what could he the best c instituency to represent the interests of the towns as to their local concerns. The 1 test was only the subject for their discussion, as to whether a higher or a lever amount of talue should be taken, and re , gardsd as the best suited to represent the opinions, the fee:ings, and interests of the towns in which corporations wete esta blished. He did not then propose to enter into the question as to tie exact number of towns to which the corporation fianchise ought to be ext. tided. He did not expect that in the Committee this part could be arranged without very considerable difference of opinion. —(Hear, heats) Then with regard to the principle, whether there should be a certain ntimber of towns in which municipal corporations should be eh:breed by the Bill, and other towns in whirls the power of acting for corporations should be extended by petition, was a principle he was not prepared to discuss. He agreed in thinking that a certain number of towns so situated would be, perhaps, less than were to be found in the schedules of the Bill. With regard to the rest it wood be left to further consideration. He would say with respect to the fran chise, that after the quotation which the Right s Honeuroble Gentleman hail read, in regard to the Municipal Coreoratiens of Scotland, an as to the peeper amount of the value of the franchise, it was be observed th .t in that country there was no regular Poor-rat as in England; therenire the quotation of the Right Eonourab, Gentleman was nut as applicable as he seemed to suppose. to the boundaries of these towns, not only had a report b made by the Seecial Commissioners, but a Bill ha 1 been psepar ; laying down the exact boundaries of the town Ly t authority cf Parliament. He did not feel it near ary to enter iota the discussion of the question as to constables ant sheriffs. Ile was very glad to hear from the Right Hon. Gentleman that he had no oh. jet:tit - in to another point ; it was that the Mayors , f towns slirtt'd be made Justices of the Peace. The Commission of Justice of the ]'race wa.; usually attached to that of Mayor, and dipriving Mayors . 11 Ireland of that Commission would be a very inviduous distinction. There was, he must remark, in several of the proposals of the Right Hon. Gen tleman considerable similarity between them and the second proposal made by the existing Government when their first Bill on this subject had been rejected by the House of Lords in 1336. It would be remem bered that when their Bill was sent back to them by the House cf Lords in 1836, instead of insisting on all their original propasitiona, they submii ted that to a certain number of towns a Corpmation franchise should be extended, and that to other towns the pros isions of the 9th Gem IV. should he eatended, and also with regard to ethyl' towns the Corporation constitutions should cease to exist.—(Hear.) That was the preposal which was then made to the House of Janata. He mentioned it now only for the sake of shoving with regard to the prioeiples contained in the Right honourable gentle man's proposal, that, if they failed in their attempt at adjustment, it could not be Iron a want of similarity in some of their propositions. Elie Right Hon. gentleman had offered suggestions with regent to the question of tolls. He should not then enter into the question, which the Right Hon. Gentlemen bed stated so ably, and on which he had given them so many details. He had no objection to the proposition of the Rig,ht Hon. Gentleman, except this, that he thought it woe:it be ex- coedingly difficult to carry it into effect, at the s :me time he thought i that the principle which .he had laid down was a sound and just one. • With respect, then, to the whole of his proposals, he certain:) , was quite ready to enter into a discussion of them. lie should enter into it with a wish net only, as the Light Hon Gentleman proposed, to discuss each particular clause, but with a great desire, where it could be done, even to ykld his own opinions with respect to particular clauses rather than incur the ask of frequent divisions, where, without any good being effected, difficulties and impediments might be thrown in the way.—(Hear, hear, hear.) As he stated at the commencement, if they were enabled in the prese,it session to carry out a Bill by which Corporations might be founded on aopuler principles, by which they might give to Ireland Corporations, the element of whose life was derived from popular elections, arid if they could pass a Tithe Bill the effect of which would be to prevent frequent collisions, and thus, in the opinion of the most steadfast friehda of the Church, give the greatest security to that • Church, a:id if they could likewise have a provision affording some relief, at least to the misery and destittition that existed in Ireland, then he did think that great good would be done, though he must confess, and he did ecrfess, that he had pressed upon Lord Grey frequently the any settlement of the Irish Church must be totally unsatisfactory unless a portion et' the revenues of that Church were devoted to genera: educa tion ; and when lie was assured by Lord Grey that, though not dith Bring from him in principle, it was not his opinion that it could be car. sae,' into effect, seeing what were the opinions that prevailed in this country, he Lor:l J. Russell) was obliged to confess, in stating this opi. nion of Lord Gray, and his beirg perfectly right as to the result, that though he might incur the reproach of many who might say, and must say unjustly, that he had receded from a principle which he believed to be favourable to the general good of the country, yet still, if this great measure could be passed, whatever reproach he might undergo, it would lea great satisfaction to him to think that he Lad, in establishing fur Ireland ameasure not only el great practical benefit, but also one ex tending privileges to that country, thus proved that the Legislature of the Poled Klngdom was disposed to consider the Irish tin :stions, with a view to such aajustment of them as would conduce to the benefit of the Irish pchple.—(Cheers.) . Mr. O'CONNELL said he never felt greater pleasure than that which waii pfoduced both by the tone and temper of the Right Honourable Gentleman.—;:fear, hear. If words were things, and conciliatory language and gentle speeches acts, it would be impossible for thorn to desire more than what they had heard that night. If it were a mere I delusion that great advantage: were intended for his country, it was one so pleasio, - ; ; and so unusual in its nature that he should wig!: indulging in it, even if it Weft hot for a few moments ; but he was hound to say that some things had fallen from the Right Honourable Gentleman which he &Tidy regretted to hear. Indeed the general scheme of delusion he witnessed reminded him of the discussions iri which the parties were the Government upon the one hand, and the planters on the other, and in which the imfintunate negroes were left completely out of the ques tion. Thus it appeared to him that the feelings of the people of Ireland, their wishes, and their demands fir right being done to them, were overlooked, i,, if consulted, were rather consulted not with a view of a :tine upon them. lie did not wish to impute motives, and it would be highly improper to do so when so many kind professions were made; but still it seemed to him that what he had heard was rather intended to reconcile parties in this country than for the pacification of Ireland. What, he asited, had the hoor-laws to do with the question oftithes, or with corporations? TI e poor law was sufficiently unpo. putar without being made the means of enhancing the franchise and of diminishing the number of electors. The Right Honourable Baronet had told them of li:s intention efusing the poor -rate as an instrument for ascertalnieg the franchise ; and he had given them this test, that some might prefer the hon-pasment or the rate to the enjoyment of the franchise. These words which lied fallen from the Right lion. Baronet alarmed him. But this objection to the Poor-law Bill he had felt for a eeetsidorable time; but it wai rot until after the third reading that be had given expression to it when he had entermi his protest against the Bill, and told the Noble Lord the Secretary for Ireland that he had, in passing it, given an instrument to the unpppular party in Ire land, which, if used skilfully by them, might be employed greatly to di. minish the number of electors in Ireland. What was to be tie test of the corporation franchise? The poor law. Were they to wait for a poor-law to enjoy freedom ? They could have no poor-law until they had workhouses. They could not bold workhouses by magic ; they had not an Aiaddin's lamp, and could not create them in a night. They must go through ti.e very tedious process of using lime and brick and mortar. Until they had workhouses, they could not have a Poor.rate. Did they woos an Ingredient to enhance the amount of the franchise ?—(Hear, from Lord Stanley: , lie knew , that the Noble Lord was prepered to enh ance t h e ft anchise. lie knew that the Noble Lord had restricted the fran rise in Ireland. Tithes had been connected by the Right Hon. Paronet with the municipal franchise; but no two subjaets could be more diGrent from each miter than the question of Tithes and of Municipal Reform. In discussing Tithes they might say that they would make a satisfactory arrangement hg calling Tithes a rent-charge, and pacing the burden on the landlords, which the landlords would afterwaids place upon the tenants; but the people of Ireland could not thus be deluded The essential ditßeulty in this question had been overlooked, or it had been placed by the Right Hon. Gentlemen is the haekground. The great dif. ticutty of the Irish Tithe qtlestion was, that there were in Ireland 7,200,000 persons who d'd not belong to the Established Church. The Established Church was the Church but of 800,000 persons. There were 0,500,000 Catholics; there were 700,000 Presbyterians; and in a na tion of 8,000,000 they talked of coming to a satisfactory arrange , ment for an establishment of Son,ooo.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") The Right Hon. Gentleman made use of the Act of Union as an argu. ment for the ror,ttnuance of tithes , • but did he not know how that Act was passed ? Did he not know that it had been imeo ed by the hand of power upon the people?--;Hear, hear.) Did he not know that they ac , ceded to it with reluctance, and that they wen' divided by rebellions, ' which were fomented for the worst of purposes ? Did he not know that the public meetings held against it were put down by the bay suet, and that the yoke was impoval upon them as if they had been slaves? — (Hear, hear) When, therefore, the Right Hon. Gentleman said that by the Act of Union Church tempo7alitles had been sanctioned, he as serted nothing that was satisfactory or conclusive. The next subject he would allude. to was the Rom in Catholic Relief Act. He admitted that it was implied by that Act that the Protestant region should be secure from the enernechments of the Roman Catholic religion, and that, in reference to the Climch Estalilishm:nt ; it was for the Pro testants to deride whether or not they would increase or dimiaish the articles of religion. Its disc'pline and its doctrines were all free from Lis impeachment : but when they came to considerations of pounds, shilings, and pence, when the came to the payment of money, he denied that they had granted anything which either expressed or implied that they had not as good a right to interfere as the Right Honourable Gentleman himself: He utterly denied that there wee any contract by which they were boun I to non-interference with respect to the Church temporalities. He would say that there was no person more anxious than himself for a settlement of the tithe qui stion. It had he: imputed to him that he had raised the tithe agitation but agitation in reference to tithes had existed long before he was born. The Right Ilotikiur,tb.te Gentleman had said that the public mind of Ireland was in a state of calm wie.: Tr and to tithes. If it were, the calm was a fictitious one ; he assured the Right Ibllo , yable Gentleman it was by 110 r;NAZIS so complete as he appeared to suppose. 'Within the last ten days—and t!;,? Press did not deem it meet now to state the f4ets--642Ve1l or tug ' ht public meeting:42d been held in Ireland, each attended by from •SO,OOO to 150,000 persons, who 4.471*d for the purpose of protesting against tithes, and expressing their determiriatipu npvpr to pay them. That 1113 the specit,s of calm and tranquillity that really e x isted. Now, three persons out of every ligo4rgd had bey n selected to watch the pro.:,,edings for the recovery of Titters so that a species of discipline had been adopted, which would, doubtles::, turn out to be of i very formidable character, but the necessity for which he ardently hoped woui.l. case to exist. He would not go beyond thts.a two points of diffet once. The lion ti r aware that heavy arrears were due, and he would say let such ail arra.lgenieni Ne ;.:13:;de as would extinguish those a:rears.

He could assure the flight floc. litironOt that he toted wisely, when liemid that he would not bind himself to any rate of reduction. Oa the amount of that reduction cleps.n,icd the chance a seistltctary settlement.

The attempts made fir the settlement of tithes ought to be of as conciliatory a nature as possible, the people of Ireland having arrived at the conviction that to a Church to which they did not belong they were not bound to contri. bute. When they talked of giving equal municipal corporate rights to Ireland with those enjoyed by England and Scotland, he would beg of them to recollect that the Irish people well knew that the people of Scotland did not contribute to the support of a church to which they slid not belong, that the people of England slid not contribute to the support ofa church to which they did not belong, but that the people of Ireland were compelled to do so.—(Hear, hear.) Let them legislate, therefore, not in the spirit of a dominant church, nor in a spirit of exultation that the faith which they believed to he Orthodox had jurisdiction over those who differed from it ; let them nut legislate in that spirit, but rather on the principles on which the Municipal Cor poration question had been already settled in England. and Scot. land. Let the Irish people have institutions in common with Eogland and Scotland, for they elaim7A not any portion of the Church revenues of England or of Se:Aland fir the support of the Church to which they belonged. The Municipal Corporations act ay_ peered to him to be a subject to be considered principally as a matter of detail. With regard to the regulations proposed to be made, he had a strong objection to !hair attaching to the qualification for the franchise the payment of the poor rate.. The poor rate was never levied acernal. lag to the value of the property, but only upon the half or the third of the value. Ile trusted that no difficulty would now arise in this respect, but could not help fearing that they would so proceed as to " keep the word of promise ta the ear and break it to the hope." The ifie,la Hon. Baronet relied on the evidence taken in !elation to the _ franchise be the fictitious votes Committee, but that did not apply to the town franchise. There ceuld be no better test of the valus , of a hence than the real paid for a number of years. Ile was exceedingly glad that the Right Hen. Baronet, who was the representative of a great party, no longer alleged that the people of Ireland were ut.tit to be eetrusted with corporate institutions. He did not accuse the Right Honourable Baronet himself of having ever used words to .that effect, but his acts were an indication of his having entertained that o:Mtion. He rejoiced, however, that Ireland was no Linger to be insulted by being legislated for in that spirit, and that the period of con. ciliation Raving at length arrived, their rights were ce needed in emir toms and friendly terms. Let them have a care that. in the subse. qeent proceedings, all this exhibition of concession was not discordant to be a mere deception— t splendid humbug—a well.paieted delusion. The I lonourable and Learned Gentleman then referred to the Corpora. tion of Dublin, where the right to be adtnitted freemen was net denied to the Roman Catholics, but where there existed no le el means of en forcing it. He hoped that such a state of things as this would be Eno .vided against in the proje led Bil: ; he trusted, also, that a public exa mination of the Corporation rtecoun's would be allowed, an.l t hat the treasurer of the city of Dublin would be compelled to open an account at the Bank of Ireland, whet e parties would be ready to give receipts cn ,the payment of the local taxes. He wished for Ireland Ind the sams franchise as existed in Engrlnd ; lie wished en id: laity s f franclii • ,and an identity m.ant, not th a t the franchise should be exact l y I same, but rather that, in the poorer country, it should be 1 ' in amoant than in the ri c h coun t ry. A t present the franehi was practical y twice its great in the poo; countrv, as it tit rich. There was in this the feregoee conclusion that they would nol co itide in the people of Ireland, which appeared to be the result of reli* pious prejudices and of an Lc:conger:l ility ef political sentiments. Thig i coning, h ;wever, lie trusted had commenced thecoeciliatien which had .seen so lon I promised. He, p rhaps, lied met it with noire susp:eieti . than the event woull justify, and lie should, indeed, be elad if it turned' out that his appreliensioos were groundless; but those who: ad suffered by years of false promis:s— and they were a care that this country had suffi rel by fa'se promises for cent ut ieS, by excited hopes which turned out to be mere delusions—people who had been thus deceived and dis , app. inted might be vac:tied if they were neither very sanguine nor are . dulous. All they asked for were equal advantages with this country : they ticsii . e.l no more. What had been suggested with re.erence to the Tithe crestion might possibly meet the existing difficu:ties; he could not, however, promise, though he hoped, that tranquillity would follow. In conclusion, he implored them, +Nal , refeietice to both the Tithe and the Municipal Corporation (plea ions, to act generously towards the people of Ireland, and he w as con vin c ea that if . they did so the Irish people would no: tail to m ee t th em with equ a l gene. - osity.— (Ch eers. ) Mr. F. SHA W was glad to observe the tone of the present discos. sion. lie was disposed to concur in the arraneement if the value of the franchi.e were fairly estimated, but he thought that care ought to be t tken to prevent what was is troth only a 5/ franchise, being adopted for a fienchise of IC/. He laelievol that there was no desire to raise the fiarichise. NVitit reference to the tithe question, he begged to say that • the clergy and his own constituents considered it already Fe• tied by the act of the Noble Lord. He. was of opinion that the landlords of Le land were entitled to scene deductions of the tithe. The settle:neat of the queston fairly between the landed and the Church interest was ono of great elelicaey awl importance ; but, nevertheless, he thought that a settlement might be effected. The question of appropriation he cutiaidered had been abandoned.--(Cries of " No, no." from Mr. Ward.) He did not say that all the Honourable Gentlemen opposite thi.ited Government.—;lots abandoned bl o t . h n e o. t ) vas t rit , i , op ee in r i t z i t y b a c t o it n s h i a t d e „bet ettiht.tatic,leot:iled,prloty. t hear)—of coutse H on. G eot l etnen might retain their' opi p. iat ion principle was exc l u d e d f rom the settlement of the Irish question. —(Hear, Man ; but unless he believed the principle of appropriatio:: excluded from the settlement of the tithe qoestion, he never would consent to this ineo. stmt,—(Hear ) That was all they demanded; that w..a all they had a right:to demand. The Ri e ht Hots. Gentleman voncludel with express ing his gratification at the prospect ofa final and satisfactory adjustment of these various important questions. Lord JOHN RussEr.r. said that he did not mean to go further, after the appointment of the Committee, than to move it should report pre press, and ask leave to sit again en an early day. The flight Hon. Gentleman had touched on the appropriation in a way which rendered it necessary for him (Lord John Russell: to say a few words in explana. than of what he had already endeavoured to state to the House. With reference to his opinions on this particular subject, he had not thought it necessary to go it:to that evenina, as he had stated them very fully on the motion of the Hon. Member fur Devon ; it would be sufficient for him now to state that he fully adhered to the opinions he had re. peatedly declared on this point.—(Hear.) His reason for not having weposed such a clause in the present 8.11 was simply that he had con sidered he could not carry such a principle into a law, and that he should under existing circumstances, fail in passing a measure of which such a Principle formed part.—(Hear, hear.) 'Had he conceived he stood any cha :cc of carry itg that principle he should have proposed it, and did he think he stood any chance of carrying it now he would propose it to. morrow—)Hear, hear).—but he considered he should have acted most unjustifiably had he attempted to press it forward now. As to whether this was the final and satisfactory measure described by the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite, this would depend on the working of the Bill— , (Hear, hear.) The Right Han. Gentleman had his o a inion on this sub ject, and he (Lord John Russell) had his. He could only repeat that his sole reason fur not introducing an appropriation elation_ into the pre. s.nt Bill, was that he had been most anxious not to do anything which night prevent the accomplishment of what was in itself a very consider. ;A? good.— (Hear, hoar.) Mr. WA RD said, th:it entortaining the opinions which it was well_ known he did on this question of :igpropriatlon, yet, could he suppose fur a moment that such a propo,al as that which tad been dtid before the House that night could be the basis of a " final and satisractory settlement," he should be as ready as any one to wave any peculiar predil.2ctions of his own in favour of a particuLr course of action; but he did not conceive any final settlement cou'd'be founded on the basis proposed. The House was bond to guard itself against being held pledged to any compromise which should end in giving a new title to the Irish clergy, which shou:d operate as a guarantee that their title should remain in future unques: tiorwtt by Parliament.—(bear, !war.) The Hon. Member concluded with stating that he should, at some sts,e of this ne_ociation, take the seme of tl:e Ilo use on thi s principle, even if he stood alone; and he should do it by way of an instruction t; the Committee.— ( [ lest. hear.) ic Lord CLEMENTs ajmred to the manlier in which the great Irish questions had been clubbed together, more part ularly cons idering the p,riod of the ,ession. Mr. S. O'BRIEN as an Irish Member begged to thank the Right Hon. Baronet for the tone of cone; iiat ion he had adopt rd —( Hear, hear.) The compromise proposed was one which Government could accede to without the slightest diminution of honour.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. SI. A NEI" was glad to find that at length a better spirit had en. tered into their councils—(dear, hear)—.2 int that those party bickerings on both sides of the House, which had so disgusted all the sober men in the country who were watching the progress of legisl dion in that I rouse, were now likely to be banished from their deliberations on these im portant subjects. Ile begged most heartily to 'thank the Right lion. Baronet for the course he had taken r.) After a few wards from Mr. C. HINDIEY, The House went into Committee on the Bill, pro forma. On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, the Chairman reported pro gr,,s, and obtained leare to s:t again on Friday. EXCIIEQUER BILLS BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed. The other Orders of the Day were thea disposed of, and the House adj , urned at half-past nine. , y a majority, variously stated at three, four, and five, the General Assembly has confirmed the decision of the Presby. tery of Paisley, and of the Synod of GI sgow and Ayr ; thus prosentiag the tra..slation of the nee, J. Mac,au„;Lta:t to Edinburgh. Oil Wednesday night week an accident of the most appaling description happened near Hexl.am. Two young men, one a son of Mr. D av id Flintoff, of Newc.istle, and the other a son of Mr. John Ridl ey, g l ove manufacturer, were amusing themselves with shoot ing swallows, when poor Fli t: t o ff rec ,i ve d t h e whole contents o f one o f Ridley's charges in his under jaw; his mouth, teeth, &e., were literally blown away, and he is now lying with scarcely any hope of his recovery. Ridley was sl shocked at the catastraphe, that after telling his mother in tlistress, " I have !;ilke.t PlM:oft'," immediately fled. No ill.will ex. isted between the youths.— Carlisle Pia••;.d. A miner in \Veardale, who had an execution issued against him, for s::-ne time prevented the admission of the bailiff's. They having gained entrance one morning, he with the greatest sangfroid requested them to be seated, at the same time putting the poker into the fire, and keeping them in conversation till such time as it was heated, He then seized the poker, and thrusting it upon the top of a barrel, swore he would blow them to atoms. The bailiffs, imagining it con tained a quantity of blasting powder, iinmediately rarCoff; and not even like Lot's wife, did they cast a look behind them, till they were fairly out of danger, -much to the amusement and gratification of th e m i ner, as the cask contained only a quantity of sand.—Sunderland licro!d.
